Technologies and BAE Systems, providers of geospatial collaboration software,
announced today a collaborative agreement under which BAE Systems’ SOCET GXP
v3.0 customers can now easily create, mark up and export geographically rich
image data and maps to a GeoPDF file directly from the SOCET GXP workspace. In
addition, customers can purchase the Map2PDF for SOCET GXP software module used
to create GeoPDFs directly from BAE Systems.

“One of the biggest challenges our industry faces is the ability to efficiently
provide access to critical geospatial information among non-GIS users in the field,
where receiving large data files can be difficult,” said Dan London, vice
president, Geospatial eXploitation Products for BAE Systems. “By providing a
means to create GeoPDFs that can then be used for advanced collaboration in the
field with virtually anyone, we are helping customers to extend the use and
utility of their SOCET GXP investment.”

The TerraGo Map2PDF for SOCET GXP solution will allow for anyone with access to
Adobe Reader to view, mark up, or configure geographic attributes (GeoMarks) contained
in the image or map from a desktop computer. The PDF document maintains
predominant features and coordinates, yet compresses the file to a size
suitable for transmission via email, portable drive or shared network.

According to Rick Cobb, president and CEO of TerraGo Technologies, “We are
pleased to join forces with BAE Systems as one of the recognized leaders in
image and geospatial analysis software. Many of our joint defense and
intelligence customers will now be able to more seamlessly share their
geospatial assets with users in the field, regardless of their physical
location and technology constraints.”

Government and commercial analysts use SOCET GXP to produce and deliver highly
accurate mapping and intelligence data to the field for mission planning,
disaster relief, land-use management, and transportation planning.

We began by creating a survey as a cooperative effort between several high level geospatial leaders, POB staff, and Clear Seas Research market research experts. The survey was sent out to more than 25,000 geospatial professionals who subscribe to POB and/or are members of MAPPS.
